The performance issues are because of Adblock and Adblock Plus: https://nitter.net/gorhill/status/1746263759495077919#m
It affects more sites than just YouTube.

Adblockers will still be allowed, they will just be crippled a lot. It will probably be the same as the adblocking situation on Safari.
If any 3rd party browser vendor wants to maintain a Chromium fork with Manifest V2, they can do so, but with the risk of code maintenance hell. They would also need an extension store for Manifest V2 extensions. Otherwise V2 extensions needs to be installed manually.
Browser vendors can also create their own separate ad blockers that aren’t affected by the changes. For example Brave Shields, Vivaldi adblock, Opera adblock, etc.
By doing that you’re wasting bandwidth on all the CDNs that hosts ALL your filter lists. Updating the Quick fixes list should be enough. (Which updates every 5 hours automatically on uBO 1.54).
How to manually update Quick Fixes (Manual updates push back automatic updates.)
uBO Lite have a lot of limitations:
Anti-adblock killer by Reek
That thing is unmaintained and have not been updated for over 7 years. It will do absolutely nothing.

I have to add some things though:
Also for anyone wondering how to set the default quality for videos.
Edit your mpv.conf
and add ytdl-format=bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]
to play all videos in 720p for example.
Lemmy can’t display some characters correctly. replace <

Use farside when recommending alternative front ends. This way users will be redirected to a random working instance.
For piped you can use: https://farside.link/piped/
And for a video: https://farside.link/piped/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
They target accounts, not logged out users.
There are plenty of userstyles and userscripts inspired by old reddit if you don’t want to use mlmym. See !plugins@sh.itjust.works.
I’d recommend going into the settings and enabling all the extra filters as well.
I’d recommend sticking with the defaults unless you have a specific use case where extra filters are needed. More filters = higher chance of breakage.
I’m wondering why websites keep using fake paywalls when they can use a real one where the content isn’t available until user verification.
